Zap_Rowsdower:I'm not usually That Guy, but I have literally never heard or seen the name "Anastacia" before this link.

Had a few big hits in Europe a decade ago. Tiny blonde belter. Been in the news since then only because she got boobage cancer before and shocked (shocked!) the press when she admitted to having lied about her age a bit.

Anastacia was diagnosed with Crohn's disease[12][14] when she was thirteen. The incurable bowel disease led to an operation where surgeons cut directly through her stomach muscles removing a foot of the singer's intestines, causing Anastacia to be wheelchair bound and needing to learn how to walk again.[15] Despite her illness she soon became interested in dance. However she was frequently critiqued for being 'too large to make it in the music business'.[15] At age 19, a diet triggered a Crohn's relapse.[15]

Charlie Chingas:Rubber Biscuit: I've read some real asshole headlines on FARK, but never before have I read one that makes me want the asshole mod who posted it to be fired until now.

Welcome to Fark?

Fark comments have always been full of the bleatings of idiots, but the headlines have never been as dull edged, obvious and cloddish as they've become. The sameness of this place keeps me away in all but my most bored moments.

Anastacia was a has-been karaoke game show winner before Kelly Clarkson ate her first comped rack of ribs. One of the judges of the VH1 game show she won was Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, which means there probably wasn't a driving component of the show for contestants.

Does anyone on Fark other than me even know who she is? Apparently one other person does because I didn't submit this. Can't believe this got greened, but glad, because otherwise I wouldn't have heard about it.

Sad to hear. :( I was OBSESSED with her in high school. Farking tragedy that they didn't promote her enough in America.

I'm not familiar with her either, and I've been reading The Sun for about as long as they've been online. They have such high quality journalism (regular shots of teh boobage).

Could be that she's lived somewhat a normal life and avoided scandal. With a few exceptions notwithstanding, The Sun finds those kinda folks boring and tends to focus more on the LindsayLohan/BrittneySpears type of trainwreck newsmakers.

Not much in the way of scandal other than her lying about her age. I think she claimed she was 10 years younger than she really was. Most people bought until a few years into her career when she really started to age quickly (maybe because of the cancer) and people were like, "Yeah, no way this b**** is in her 20s." I don't think it really mattered to most people because they liked her voice and didn't really give a crap. Otherwise she is a class act. Her health sucks though. Has had Crohn's most of her life and now has had breast cancer twice. Damn.

my mom's a 3 time breast cancer survivor... yes, 3 times.. and she's been clear for almost 12 years now... it's not fun, and although i may not comment often on here, having been around as long as i have been, this headline was not funny.

Normally with these sorts of things you can count me in the "Who?" crowd, but this time around I'm in the holy shiat Anastacia was the bomb for a good number of my clubbin' years and her compilation album is one that I still fire up from time to time. So, it makes me sad to know she may possibly facing cancer again.

OK, to repeat from another thread: if you own or love someone who owns boobs (a, b cup), boobage (c and d cup) or boobalage (dd cup or higher), please, please get those mammograms and breast checks. Even if you or your gal is younger than 30 or 35, an annual ob/gyn checkup will give the breast exam. Bless the Breasts!

Actually she came in second place.

I've heard of her and I think I have a couple of her songs in my iTunes, but I can't remember their titles though. Sad to hear of anyone having a reoccurence of cancer, especially the more I learn about the long term effects certain types of chemo have on a person after several treatments.

Anastacia is the American version of Robbie Williams--in her time huge everywhere except the U.S. Back in the early 2000s her record company tried to give her a push in America, they put her on the "Divas" show on VH1 and stuff like that, but no go. She's had a ton of health problems over the years too along with the cancer. Hope everything comes out okay.
